Stream progress

[Shahaf.Alfasi@gmail.com]

Hello

I'm reading a stream from the net with vb.net and system.io class

1. I would like to know what's the way to detrmine the speed i read
the data from the net in kb/s and the progress

2. Is there any way to know how much line there are for the stream for
the progress?
I tried to use streamReader.Ba seStream.Length but i get error message:
This stream does not support seek operations.

Thanks
